If you could come up with 100 unique pareto distributions across humanity (there are probably way more) i wonder if another meta-pareto distribution would emerge. One that could be unique to the individual. Is everyone in the top 20% of 20% of things, but in the bottom 80% of the other 80%? These can be both good or bad things too. If true, it could demonstrate the importance of choosing your battles.

Really interesting thought. Just examining myself, I think it’s probably true. And it doesn’t even have to be exactly true for there to be a big lesson here.
Thanks for picking up what im putting down! I think there could be a couple lessons here too tbh, even if there is some decent margin of error. I have been mulling on it for the last day or so, and the importance of consciously choosing what you want to be the top 20% of, and making peace with the other 80% keeps coming around to me. I will never be an NFL player, or a doctor, or roll A joint as well as @Thekid.999, but that's okay.
